Updated On September 23rd, 2025

what's the best kind of food you recommend for a 6 month old siberian kitten? she gets an upset stomach easily, as in her stool becomes quite liquidy when I give her anything different from her current dry food (whiskas) to any other dry food/ wet food. what should I do, so that my cat can have a healthy fur and a solid stable digestion?

I highly recommend feeding either Royal Canin or Hill's Science diet. Both are high quality foods that cats seen to enjoy. In order to avoid GI upset, make the switch slowly. Mix together her old food and her new food, and over the course of two weeks, slowly increase the amount of new food and decrease the amount of old food until she is eating the new food only.
